Homemade flash cards help kids pack their own lunches

Our recent brainstorming session on encouraging kids to eat their school lunches inspired this amazing project. Based on several Parenthackers' suggestions, Alanna was looking to teach her kids to pack their own lunches. She came up with this: flash cards. Remarkable.

As an aside, my daughter is totally enamored of our new “lunch card game” and is very engaged with sorting and picking out her items. Her little brother (who wasn’t the primary audience) mucks things up by wanting exactly what she picked, and gets upset because she’s already using those cards in her stack. I guess I’m making another set!!
